Radiation Levels

Just wondering what people's preferences are with regards to how the radiation levels in Fallout 3 could be done. Here are some of the possibilities:
1) No radiation. The initial nuclear blasts are so long-gone that the radiation levels are back to normal (or at least close to normal) everywhere you go so that your health and abilities are not affected.
2) Slightly increased radiation levels in all areas, but the same rad levels everywhere (no variation). This would cause only a slight drain to your health and abilities over time.
3) Slightly increased radiation levels in all areas (same as #2), but also variable so that in some areas you would lose drastic amounts of health or abililties without health packs or radiation suits.
4) Same as # 3, but with normal radiation levels in most places so that there is no "slow drain" on your health/abillities in most areas, but some areas in which it would be necessary to have a radiation suit or lots of health packs in order to survive.
5) Drastically high radiation levels in all areas, so that you would basically be required to wear a radiation suit the entire game.

My vote is for #4. #2 or #3 could also work, but it just seems like kind of a pain in the ass to have to constantly use up your health packs or wear a rad suit due to the slow drain on your health.

Edited:
I take that back. My vote is now for #6, which is a combination of #1, #2, and #3. In other words, in some areas you don't have any radiation, in some it's only slight, and in others it's drastically high.
